Instructions

1

Locate the drill direction switch on the side of the drill. The button goes completely through the shell of the drill and has a directional arrow on each end of it. Move it to the reverse position by pushing in on the button on the right side of the drill. This reverses the gearing and makes the drill run counterclockwise.

2

Grip the chuck clamp tightly with one hand. The chuck clamp is the black piece of plastic that attaches to the front of the drill. The chuck consists of the three prongs that hold the drill bit. The chuck sticks out of the end of the chuck clamp.

3

Press the trigger as you hold the chuck clamp tightly. The drill will turn on in reverse and unlock the drill bit. Again, hold the chuck clamp tightly or you risk having the drill pulled out of your hand when you turn it on.
